James Johnson, brother of Oxley Johnson, Jr., moved to Neodesha area around 1909(?) from Morley, Scott Co, MO. Second wife was Nancy Moore. Had 3 daughters? First wife was Louisa Lee. Had 3 sons which must have been grown and stayed in Morley? James died ca 1911 in Montgomery Co(?) and was buried in family plot in Neodesha? Believe I'm gggrandson of James and Louisa, but cannot make the connection from back to Barren Co, KY, where they were married in 1859. Desperate for input from those who can help piece the trail together.

I am looking for any leads on the following:

Granville CONANT m. 11-10-1929 Ethel Marie CASTO b. 12-10-1912 in Toronto Ks. Ethel was the daughter of Oney Mason CASTO b.3-25-1895 d. 2-1933 and Mattie Harmon June CLARK b. 1-23-1890 d, 11-19-1978.

Mattie was the daughter of William Newton CLARK and Lydia Catherine YAKEL of Greenwood Co Ks
